A sensor mount for mounting a sensor to a substrate having a support member, a substrate attachment surface, and a sensor attachment surface. The support member can be attached to the substrate at the substrate attachment surface and the sensor can be attached to the support member at the sensor attachment surface. The sensor mount is shaped so an oblique angle is formed between the plane that includes the substrate attachment surface and the plane that includes the sensor attachment surfaces. Preferably, the support member has a wedge shape.
